Перно: Абсент тарихы мен жаңғыртуы

Former brand of absinthe
Pernod is an absinthe produced by Pernod Ricard released in 2005 based on the original Pernod Fils recipe. Pernod Fils (pɛʁnoˈfis) was the most popular brand of absinthe throughout the 19th century until it was banned in 1915. During the Belle Époque, the Pernod Fils name became synonymous with absinthe, and the brand represented the de facto standard of quality by which all others were judged. In recent years, Pernod's absinthe was reformulated and relaunched.

The brand's roots can be traced as far back as the 1790s. According to legend, it was during this time in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, that Dr. Pierre Ordinaire created a distilled patent medicine that would represent the earliest origins of the drink. The recipe then came into the hands of Henri Louis Pernod through the means of a business deal, and in 1797, he and fr opened the first absinthe distillery in Couvet, Switzerland. Pernod later built a larger distillery in Pontarlier, France, in 1805. This set the stage that would cause the sleepy community of Pontarlier to eventually emerge as the home of twenty eight commercial absinthe distilleries, and the world's center of absinthe production.

In 2001, following the relegalisation of absinthe in various markets, Pernod Ricard released an absinthe made from flavouring extracts and colourants claimed to be "inspired by the old formula". Independent reviews however revealed the product to be far more similar to its contemporary cousin, Pernod liqueur d'anise, than the historic pre 1915 drink. In 2005, Pernod's absinthe was reformulated and relaunched in an effort to bring it closer to the original sold by its predecessor, Pernod Fils.
